No-Stir Polenta image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 1h

Yield about 4 cups (about 6 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 3

7 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups coarse-grained yellow cornmeal, preferably Italian

Steps:

  • Bring the water to a boil in a large, heavy pot.
  • Add the salt; then add the cornmeal in a very thin stream, letting it run through a closed fist. Stir constantly with a whisk while adding.
  • When all the cornmeal has been added, stir with a wooden spoon 2 minutes, and then cover pot. Adjust heat so the water is at a lively simmer. After 10 minutes, stir 1 minute; then cover pot again. Repeat three more times. Let polenta cook 5 minutes longer, for a total of 45 minutes.
  • Stir vigorously for another minute. Transfer to a moistened bowl (rinsed but not dried), and let polenta rest 10 to 15 minutes. Unmold onto a platter and serve at once, or let it cool to use in other recipes.

This polenta recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needs more salt and maybe some herbs or spices. I'll try it again with some modifications.

This polenta recipe is a great way to make a quick and easy meal. I love that I can just throw everything in the pot and let it cook on its own. I usually serve it with a fried egg and some hot sauce.

This polenta recipe is a great way to use up leftover cheese. I always have a block of parmesan cheese in my fridge, and this recipe is a great way to use it up. The polenta is creamy and cheesy, and the parmesan crust is the perfect finishing touch.

Meh, this polenta recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I love this polenta recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually serve it with a simple tomato sauce, but it's also great with roasted vegetables or grilled meats.

Not a fan of this recipe. The polenta was bland and lacked flavor. I think it needed more salt and maybe some herbs or spices.
